How to Clean, Maintain and Protect Records by Cecil E. Watts
See also: http://www.smartdevicesinc.com/Watts.pdf
I remember one of the salesmen at HiFi House on Concord Pike said something about Cecil Watts being embalmed in anti-static fluid. I guess I thought that was pretty funny, because I still remember it. I had a Preener and a Dust Bug. Eventually the Discwasher and Zerostat replaced those first generation record care tools. In retrospect, the lack of a handle on the Preener is a startling omission.

Linda Ronstadt - Living In The USA (Asylum Records 6E155 - 1978)
The third of Lans' three Linda Ronstadt LPs. The condition was quite good but the material lacked a bit of the fire of the previous albums. Amazon has a whole array of offerings of this album. The basic CD runs 7 dollars. Used LPs start at a dollar and up. A vinyl picture disc is available for somewhere close to $50.

Linda Ronstadt - Simple Dreams (Asylum Records 6E104 - 1977)
The A side was nearly flawless but the B side had a little bit of dust popping. 7 bucks gets you this either as a CD or download.

Linda Ronstadt - Prisoner in Disguise (Asylum Records 7E1045 - 1975)
I really wanted to Hasten Down the Wind but I don't have that one. This is the first of three Linda Ronstadt LPs that Lans had. This came up as a segue from Warren Zevon, though there aren't any Zevon tunes on this album. Like I said, I wanted to Hasten Down the Wind. The quality was good but not flawless. Amazon has the standard cd for 7 bucks, or you can spend $30 for the Original Studio Master version.

Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy (Asylum Records 6E118 - 1978)
Kind of an amazing album really. It was in great shape. Lans probably committed this to tape when he got it though there is some ringwear on the jacket. Possibly the wear is a function of this falling at or near the end of an alphabetic sort. Amazon has the CD for 8 bucks or 9 if you download the remastered in 2007 version (which is 15 bucks on CD). I don't see any resellers selling the LP.
